About

TIFA’s most provocative conversation series returns, bringing together authors and industry experts to examine the culture and politics that shape the world around us and the books we read. As co-host of CBC Radio’s As It Happens, Carol Off spent a decade and a half talking to people in the news five nights a week giving her a unique vantage point on the crucial subject at the heart of her new book, At a Loss For Words: how, in these polarizing years, words like democracy and truth are being bleached of their meaning as the values they represent are mocked, distorted and altered beyond recognition. Join Off for a fascinating conversation with TIFA Director Roland Gulliver, as she unpacks the changing meaning and political impact being inflicted through the misuse of words and how we can bring true meaning back to language.

Generously supported by Harriet Lewis and Eldon Bennett & Nalini and Tim Stewart.
